You are more than your job

1. You have a life outside your job. In the millennial era, we spend more than half our day at our jobs and it becomes a significant part of our life. Remember the key word- part i.e fraction of your life, not all of it.

2. Take out time for things that matter to you and the people you love. There will always be deadlines but it’s important to nurture your relationships and hobbies as much as our careers. Trust me, you will come back energized! 

3. Health is wealth! An old Indian saying which holds true till date. No amount of money can bring back life, if it could Steve Jobs would be with us today. My father suffered from a heart attack a few years ago which was a reminder of how important our health is which we often end up neglecting 

4. Health isn’t just physical, mental nurturing is equally important as a physical exam. It could mean different things to people and cultures but do take those few moments for yourself.

5. Prevent Burnout. If you see yourself or a peer fatigued, take a pause, breathe, evaluate your options. Take some time if you need, life only happens once and it goes by faster than you can imagine.
